Panthers place safety Da'Norris Searcy on injured reserve

I still say take advantage of another team not being able to stop the run (Pittsburgh, obvious ties) and trade Butler to them for another young, versatile safety (Sean Davis.) I'd even throw in a draft pick if we had to, because our safety depth/skill is our biggest weakness on defense.

It's also generally believed to be the area of the defense about which Rivera has the least concern.

They like Gaulden and he's cheap. I won't be surprised if it's his job from here on out. He'll take his lumps, but that's to be expected for a rookie.

Regardless, we need depth and skill, and I HOPE that Tepper steps in, if need be.

I'm not naive enough to think it will happen. But, I can dream.

    • Well, that's the thing. Drafting players only for their physical measurables as you are suggesting only really happened during 2024, and X unfortunately has become the poster child for that. To be clear, it's not necessarily about drafting RAS over skill, but RAS over NFL-readiness and/or a solid body of work. Lots of players show skill in college, but those skills don't necessarily translate to the NFL for a multitude of reasons. But, getting back to the main point, to be clear, I believe that our FO is still enamored with physical gifts (who wouldn't be?), but now they're letting Dr. Eric Eager's proprietary system--his "secret sauce" prioritize the players that the Panthers draft, and it seems like it weighs not only a solid body of work, relative to a college career of course, but consistent gradual improvement as evidenced by production pretty highly. 
    • Its a good article about how pathetically bad our past drafts ('23 and '24) have been. Building the team in '23 since we weren't ready yet and taking your qb in '24 made so much more sense in hindsight. Ladd McConkey over XL is pretty much a given but not sure it does as much to change Bryce's trajectory as the author suggests.  As bad as '23 and '24 drafts were, the '25 and '26 really give me hope.
